    Explanation:

    - Marked Price: Rs. 1,000. This is the original price of the book before any discounts.

    - First Discount: 12% of Rs. 1,000 is Rs. 120. So, the new price is Rs. 880 (i.e., Rs. 1,000 - Rs. 120).

    - Second Discount: 8% of Rs. 880 is Rs. 70.4. The final price after the second discount is Rs. 809.6 (i.e., Rs. 880 - Rs. 70.4).

    - Rounding off: The final price Rs. 809.6 is rounded off to the nearest integer, which is Rs. 810.

    Thus, the correct option is:

    - Option 1: Rs. 810
